Chest Guide Workout

Here are some additional chest exercises you can incorporate into your workout plan:

  • Dumbbell Bench Press: Perform the same movement as the barbell bench press but use dumbbells instead. This helps improve stability and balance. (4 sets of 8-10 reps)
  • Close-Grip Bench Press: Use a narrower grip on the barbell bench press to target the triceps and inner chest. (3 sets of 8-10 reps)
  • Incline Dumbbell Flyes: Lie on an incline bench and perform flyes with dumbbells, focusing on the upper chest. (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
  • Cable Chest Press: Use a cable machine with handles and perform a pressing motion to engage the chest muscles. (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
  • Dumbbell Squeeze Press: Hold two dumbbells together and press them up, keeping constant tension on the chest muscles. (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
  • Machine Chest Press: Utilize a chest press machine, which allows for controlled movements and isolates the chest muscles. (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
  • Push-up Variations: Experiment with different push-up variations such as wide-grip push-ups, diamond push-ups, or plyometric push-ups to target different areas of the chest. (3 sets to failure)

Remember, it’s important to maintain proper form and execute each exercise with controlled movements. Including a variety of exercises will help stimulate different muscle fibers and promote overall chest development.
